Through trial and error, I've discovered a few bugs in the OS for the CBL 2 and Vernier LabPro. All of these are tested with a LabPro with OS 6.27 using a TI-83 as the testing calculator.
Linking behavior on the new commands can be inconsistent. Some calculator commands cause output to go to the serial port. I'll do some extensive testing soon about which commands end up going where.
- Command 80 does not work on calculators, due to an invalid implementation of the link protocol. Attempting to use the returned list results in an undefined variable error. Local hero KermMartian analyzed this here, in the CBL 2 Link Protocol topic.
- Command 110 reading page -1 (all pages combined) of sensor memory does not function on calculators. Attempting to use the returned list results in an undefined variable error. I suspect this is related to the above linking code error. When tested on a CBL 2 with OS 1.15 error 5 (number out of range) error is thrown, probably due to mode -1 not being supported on early OSes. When the command is used on a calculator, the output is instead routed to the LabPro's serial port.
- There's definitely more, I just haven't described them yet. I'm still finding my old documentation, where I wrote things down.
